Doctor, When you say if you hit the starter switch with 12 volts she spins, are you jumping to the starter side of the switch or the input side and still using the switch to make her spin???? The obvious purpose of that question is to see if could be a switch problem. Even though you say a new battery n cables did you remove, clean n wire brush any n all other connections such as the frame ground and the starter etc cuz it only takes one bad connection to cause trouble.

Even if the starter isnt stroung enough at 6 volts to crank over a piston on compression, it ought to grunt or try at least until a piston comes up on compression, does it do that or like never turn at all???

Ya dont reckon the starter rebuilder converted it to 12 volts when he did the rebuild???? maybe he picked up a set of 12 volt field windings by mistake!!!!!!!!

I have no specs or data to answer your question of any difference in the starters, but I doubt there could be so much difference the regular 6 volt starter wouldnt still crank the engine over albeit slowly.

For now (assuming the battery is okay like ElToro noted) I gotta go with a bad cable connection or a bad starter connection or a bad ground or else the rebuilder accidentally made a 12 volt starter out of it.
